A Not At All Naughty Chemist's is a sketch that appears in "The Buzz Aldrin Show," the seventeenth episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Synopsis[]

At 'Not At All Naughty Chemists Ltd.', the chemist (Michael Palin) serves a customer (Eric Idle) who asks for some aftershave. He shows him various types of aftershave, including fishy types. The customer asks for halibut or sea bass aftershave and the chemist leaves. The customer looks at the camera and apologises for the long pauses, explaining the reasons for it. It cuts to the chemist actor waiting off set, who jumps back onto set and goes to the Kensington branch to get it for him. While the customer actor waits for 20 minutes, a woman with a stick (Sandra Richards) sneaks onto the set and passes the customer a note. The customer reads to the camera "I wonder what other people use for aftershave lotion?"
